MIR. Wattersou and the President.

New YORK, Iuly l0.-lIenry w. Wat
terSon, Of the louisville ConYicr-IoQyudL.
has been talking freely with the news
paper reporters here. He is quoted in
the C"mmcrciul- 1dctrtt&,r as saving:
''Grover Cleveland will be renominatcd
by acclamation, and will in all reasonable
probability be elected. GOV. Hill is not
known out in Kentucky at all, and, even
though Hill should have the solid New
York delegation, the South and West
would not consent to have Cleveland
passed over. Cleveland has made mis-
takes, but it is equally true that he has
learned a great deal, aud the country is
so thoroughly assured of his faithfulness.
honesty and hard sense that it will insist
upon having him as President for another
term" Mr. Watterson declared that the
real Democratic platform for next year
will be the bill to be Introduced in Con-
gresS to reduce the revenue. That bill,
he said. would be distinctly au admins

HALF STARVED WORKING
WOMEN.

Much as We may deprecate the rash
acts and incendiary speeches of many
Labor agitators, yet it is enough to
make the blood boil with honest indig-
nation when We reflect how in many
instances the avarce and greed OF man
grind down to the starvation point,
those whom stern necessity compels to
earn their daily bread. Just think of
some poor, attenuated, and hollow eyed
woman, struggling from early dawn till
late at night, striving to keep the wolf
away from the door, by making heavy
pantaloOnS at seven cents pair. Mrs.
l.. NJ. Barry stated at Philadelphia this
week the result of her recent investiga-
ton of the condition in working women
in this country. She stated that she
found the condition of the working
women in Baltimore to be little better
than in many other places, the rents
being cheaper and the independent
homes being more numerous.
In some parts Of New York, she said,
no species of barbarism could operate
more harshly upon the women wor-
kers than some of the systems employ
ed. The condition of most of the
sewing women was almost unbearable,
and the remuneration for their toll was
kept SO low that it barely afforded an
existence. She knew of shops, she
said, where seven cents per pair was
all the pay the womenreceived for max
ing the heaviest kind of pantaloons.
In Rhode Island she found that the
wage-Workers were mere creatures of
the corporations, all the manufactur-
ing appliances being owned by the
capitalistic few. She discovered in
new York State mill proprietor who
employed both men and women, and
who was obliged by law not to require
the latter to work more than ten hours
per day. Desiring to get more work
out Of all hands, the proprietor induced
the men employees to work over ten
hours, in order to compel the women
to follow suit. In consequence of this
movement the women struck, and many
of them have since obtained employ
ment elsewhere.
Mrs. Barry said that women very
often were accountable for the hard
ships the working women have to suf-
fer. The bargain hunters, she said,
unconsciously perhaps, bore down
wages every time they sought to reduce
the price of an article. She said the
women who sought cheap goods indl
rectly enforced cheap wages, and made
the lives of the wage-earncrs miserable
II it were possible, she said she would
have every article Of apparel, or for
household use, stamped in such a way
as to show.that it had been done by

the most tattering circumstances. The
number of people, the class of people

y large crowd was on the corner at
the time, including many clerks III the
government departments, but they were
all so horror-striken that for a moment
nobody moved. Mr.. Kennedy fell to the
ground, and after giving one cry of
"Murder..' groaned deeply and pointed
to his assassin, who made no attempt to
escape. Henry Mason, a colored watch
man in the Safe Deposit building on the
opposite corner, hearing the cry, ran out
aud supported the wounded man as best
he could. The knife dropped out of Mr.

resigned the care of the murdered man
to physician who had come up. Mason
then seized Daily, who had stood look
ing on apparently the most unconcerned

Mrs. Whites Snnke Skin.

Mrs. John White, living a few miles from
this village, has a mounted rattlesnake
skin, four feet and a half long, with an
imperfect set of rattles in the tail, which
she is proud to show to visitors, while
relating how the snake, when alive, chased
her, although ~involuntarily, for nearly
half q mile, and kept up the chase even
after it was dead. Mrs. White was
standing by the roadside one warm day,
when she heard a rattlcsnakc sound its
"bel!s" Immediately behind her, and at
the same time felt a tug at the skirt of
her dress. She looked around quickly
and saw that Il big rattlcsnake had struck
at her, and that its fangs were fast in the
bottom Of her dress. Mrs. White started
on a run for home. The snakes fangs
were so securely fastened in the dress
that the snake was carried along. Mrs.
White ran so fast that tho rattlesnake
was whipped and snapped about like the
tail of q kite.
The house was almost half a mile away.
and when Mrs. White reached her door
she was so much overcome by the run
and her fright that she tainted on the
doorstep. Her daughter ran out. When
she saw the snake, with its fangs fast in
her mothers dress. and her mother w.
ing pale on the step, she supposed the
snake had bitten her mother and killed
her, and the girl ran screaming to a
neighbours, half a mile further on, where
she alarmed the household with the news
that her mother had been killed by a
rattlcsnake. A'man ran back to Whites.
Mrs. White had revived sufficiently to
drag herself into the house. The snake
was dead, and still fast in the dress. The
threshing on the stones and against the
ground had beaten the life out of it and
broken off the lower part of it's ~rattles.
Seven were left, from the size and grada-
ton of which it was calculated that the
perfect set contained at least thirteen.
The snake was skinned and mounted. and
has ever since been an object Of great
curiosity in the community. The shock
to Mrs. White Frustrated her for several
days.-New York Sun.

One of the most remarkable human Gu
rlosit'cs ever seen has just been exam
ined by M. dc Quatrefages, the French
naturalist. He is a Provincial named
Simeon Aignier, and is thirty years old.
Aignicr, thanks to his peculiar system of
muscles and nerves, can transform him
self in most wondrous fashion. At one
moment, assuming the rigidity of a
statue, his body may be struck sharply,
the blows falling as on a block of stone.
At another he moves his intcstines from
above and below and right and left into
the form of a large football, and projects
it forward, which gives him the appear
ance of a colossally stout parsonage. He
then withdraws it into the thorax open
ing like a cage, and the hollow look Of
his body Immediately reminds one of a
skeleton. Aignier successfully initiates
a man subjected to- the fortunes of the
rack, as also a man hanging himself, and
assumes n strikingly ~cadaverous look.
What most astonished NJ. dc Quatrefagcs
was the stoppage of the circulation Of
the blood, now ON the left and now on
the right side, which was effected by
muscular contraction.
